Dance Company Robert Moses' Kin Presents Rise, an Evening of New Works

Hailed by The Huffington Post as "a visually delicious beast that never comes short of dazzling the senses," dance company Robert Moses' Kin presents this dazzling evening of original choreography. The evening features the premieres of two works by Moses: Profligate Iniquities, a new work set to Sephardic romances (traditional Jewish music from Spain) and The Slow Rise of a Rigid Man, a solo to be performed by Robert Moses himself. The program will also feature a reprise of Moses' 2013 work NEVABAWARLDAPECE, a full-company work that explores America's liberation movements that features music and text by Carl Hancock Rux, Laura Love, Corey Harris and Paul Carbonara. A short post-performance Q&A will be held following each performance.

Reviews & Ratings

The first piece was by far the highlight of the show -- the balance was of somewhat uneven quality. But there is no mistaking the incredible grace and control of the dancers, as well as the fluidity and originality of the choreography. Well worth seeing!

Stellar performance. Two new works and one of their classic pieces. This is a must see. Plus, seeing Robert actually dance was a wonderful treat. Extremely talented and beautiful dancers. This would have been worth full price admission.
